some more news from EA on this :

"Good day soldiers, We want to let you know that we have been making great progress on patch 1.21 and are happy to share with you some of the issues that are being addressed. The patch will be tested in a limited beta starting the end of this week. We're working around the clock to minimize your wait on the release of 1.21 but at the same time want to make sure that the patch is thoroughly tested before it goes out officially.
Below is a list of the current confirmed fixes:

* Crash bug when using Hummer with TOW in the Special Forces expansion pack has been fixed
* Screen capture is now working
* Performance issues with certain ATI cards has been addressed
* Server browser can now filter by map name
* Claymores - the number that can be dropped at any one time has been reduced to 2

Performance issues with certain ATI cards... doesn't sound very promising to the owner of a nVidia Fx5500...

Aha ! At last !!! - the ony time I actually got to play I was killed half the time by claymores !!!

how many clamours was it letting the snipers drop?

[doobiwan]

Probably 3-5

that would explain all my clamour deaths last night. i died more than a few times to them. buggers.

I reckon they should bring back friendly fire on mines and claymores, and replace the skull and crossbones with specific message, like a big flashing arrow saying "THIS ONES A CLAYMORE, DUMBA$$$" and "THIS ONE IS AN ANTI VEHICLE MI . . . , oh to hell with it you noobs are probably just attracted to the flashing lights anyway"
